At this time, there are still only two confirmed EHV\u2011positive cases in the state, and importantly, neither has shown neurologic signs. The horses in those two cases were released from quarantine on <strong>December 3rd<\/strong>&nbsp;and the last message from the Equine Disease Communication Center (EDCC) says they both tested negative on blood and swab. Our WSU Vet Med Extension program has stated that the cases do not appear to be spreading further from the show where they originated. Based on this, the risk of continued spread currently seems minimal, provided that horses from the affected shows remain under proper quarantine and are not brought to 4\u2011H events. Therefore, we can lift the cancel and\/or postpone order from earlier for 4-H horse events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you let your volunteers and youth know that they may start having in-person 4-H horse events again, please encourage them to continue to follow biosecurity practices to the best of their ability. While the current risk is low, we must remember that any time horses are co\u2011mingled at shows, there is an inherent risk of infectious disease transmission.&nbsp; The latest updated from the EDCC on <strong>December 11th<sup> <\/sup><\/strong>states that there were 60 horses that have tested positive in 8 states; the spread has slowed, but it is still popping up. The Equine Committee shared the following information with me and it is a great website to share with your volunteers and members.&nbsp; From the committee, here is a great video on the EHV-1 outbreak that includes disease information, common myths, disinfection recommendations and more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/equinediseasecc.org\/news\/article\/USEF-Webinar-on-EHV-1-and-Biosecurity\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/equinediseasecc.org\/news\/article\/USEF-Webinar-on-EHV-1-and-Biosecurity\">USEF Webinar on EHV-1 and Biosecurity | Equine Disease Communication Center.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for your continued diligence in keeping our horses and participants safe.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Kayla Wells-Yoakum 4-H Director, WSU Extension<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-cta  wsu-text-align--right\" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"#menu\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button  wsu-button--style-action\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\tReturn to Menu\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center  wsu-heading--style-marked wsu-heading--mark-centered wsu-heading--mark-color-vineyard\" id=\"use\">News You Can Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Local events and opportunities through WSU Extension and our community partners<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-row wsu-row--halves\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Yakima County 4-H Benefactor Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re invited to join our community of benefactors!

Directly because of donors like you, youth in our community have access to 4-H club membership, educational workshops, programs, and leadership development events. Youth are able to engage with their peers at the local and state level to learn how make positive change in their clubs, communities, countries, and their world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generous donations are used in funding 4-H enrollment fee sponsorship, attendance at national summits, 4-H conference registration fees, livestock judging, basic programming supplies, postage, and other necessary materials to support the large  network of dedicated volunteers who give their time and talents  to mentor, lead, and support 4-H youth.
